And while she would be more than happy to step into the cage with "Rowdy," especially after the current Strikeforce female bantamweight champion called her out, Santos has been medically advised against trying to make 135 pounds.

With that in mind, Santos said she's done talking about Rousey and any potential fight for the bantamweight title. If Rousey wants to prove her worth, Santos said, let her come back to 145 pounds to do it – the same place she started her Strikeforce career.

"I get many questions about Ronda Rousey, and I would like to set the record straight for the last time, as I do not consider her much personally, much less as a fighter," Santos told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) through an interpreter. "She claims she is the champion and openly challenges me to fight at 135 pounds, which I find laughable. She competed in the Beijing Olympics at 154 pounds and fought at 145 pounds in MMA until she learned she would have to fight me and then dropped to 135 pounds.

"I have never fought below 145 pounds, and I am considered the pound-for-pound top woman fighter in the world. I have yet to lose a fight while holding the Strikeforce 145-pound title. My last fight was considered a no contest, but that has not changed the fact that I am the women's 145-pound champion."

Santos, who made her Strikeforce debut in April 2009, was stripped of the Strikeforce women's featherweight title one month after a post-fight drug test at "Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Masvidal" turned up positive for stanozolol metabolites in late 2011.

The California State Athletic Commission, which oversaw the event, suspended Santos for one year and fined her $2,500. Additionally, her first-round TKO of Hiroko Yamanaka was also overturned to a no-contest.

Rousey, who was 2-0 in Strikeforce's 145-pound division, dropped to 135 pounds earlier this year and promptly earned the promotion's female bantamweight title by submitting then-champion Miesha Tate. This past Saturday night, the former Olympic judoka defended the title by submitting former champion Sarah Kaufman in just 54 seconds.

Following the win, Rousey called out Santos and challenged her to come down to 135 pounds.

"I need to send out a challenge to Ms. Cyborg, there," Rousey said after her victory. "People want to see you have the first fair fight of your life. I'm the champ now. The champ doesn't go to you. You go to the champ. Come down to 135 and let's settle this."

Santos said that's simply impossible for her to do, and doctors have told her as much. As far as the Brazilian slugger is concerned, if this potential superfight is going to happen, it needs to be in the same division Rousey started her Strikeforce career.

"There really is not a safe way for me to cut to 135 pounds – not without hurting myself physically," Santos said. "I am less than eight percent body fat at 145 pounds, and my cardiologist and physician have advised me that to make such a drastic reduction in weight could have permanent effects on my long-term health. I will not endanger my health to satisfy the rantings of a spoiled little girl who has yet to prove that she can truly compete at my level at a weight she has not only fought at before but has been awarded an Olympic medal."

Santos' CSAC suspension ends in December, and despite a since-deleted tweet that suggested she was looking to terminate her Strikeforce contract, the former champion said she's looking forward to fighting again and hopefully regain the belt she eagerly points out she never truly lost.

And if Rousey wants to move up to 145 pounds in an attempt to make history as a female dual-division champion, then she has an open invitation to step into the cage. Until then, "Cyborg" said she's done dealing with the outspoken Californian.

"To put this issue to rest, if Ronda is the future of women's MMA and is the champion that she envisions, you know where I am, and I am more than willing to give you an opportunity to test me," Santos said. "I will fight you at 145 pounds – you know, the weight that you started at – and then you can have two belts and prove to everyone that you are indeed a champion. If not, stay at 135 pounds and continue to delude yourself and your fans that you can beat me. You're really not worth my time otherwise.

"I will do all of my talking in the ring. Until then, you're really not worth my breath."

Why does she have to go down to a weight class she never fought in, when on the other side Rondy started and competed at the weight class of Cyborg!?!?!??!

...Because Cyborg is a steroid user, and probably(being kind using that word) was her entire career. There are NO women at 145 right now. It's empty. She got stripped of her title and shown for the cheating piece of man chinned junk she is. Why should Ronda do anything for her?

Her saying "That has not changed the fact that I am the women's 145-pound champion." is such bollocks, she got stripped of the title.

At 145 she'll probably be juicing again. She could easily make 135 if she wasn't hulked up. Why should Ronda go up 10 pounds to face someone that doesn't play by the rules? She doesn't need Cyborg at all.

I actually agree with Cyborg (except the disrespectful comments about Rousey).

Ronda has cleaned out the BW division. She is fully capable of making FW, has faught there before, and at FW there is a super fight that everyone wants to see. I see the ball being in her park. It's not "Rousey doing something for Cyborg". Cyborg will not HAVE to be off the steroids, so for this fight I think the mention is irrelevent. Rousey is easily able to fight at FW and really has completley no reason no to. If she haden't made a big deal about it, it wouldnt have been like she is "giving in".

Rousey Vs Cyborg at FW! If Rousey doesn't want to move up, Cyborg can just wait until Strikeforce feeds her other fighters to knockout until she gets the belt back. Steroids or not she still smashes their faces in.

Hold on, are you saying this fight should happen at FW so that Cyborg can stay on the roids if she wants?

If so, then that is quite possibly the most rediculous thing ive ever read on here.

I don't get how you could have got that from that line. I said:-

"This fight will HAVE to be off the steroids", as in there is no way it can be ON the steroids because everyone's eyes are on Cyborg and what she has taken. Regardless of the past, THIS fight will HAVE to be clean.
